Walker to speak at NBC-hosted Education Nation panel

Gov. Scott Walker is slated to join at least nine other state governors Monday for a discussion panel on the state of education, hosted by NBC News as part of its Education Nation Summit in New York City.

The panel, called "The State of Education: The Governor's Perspective," will stream live at 2 p.m. on the East Coast (1 p.m. in Milwaukee) on the Education Nation website, according to a spokeswoman.

The panel will cover issues facing state leadership such as budget cuts, the Common Core state standards, college readiness, the No Child Left Behind law, the role of teachers' unions, teacher effectiveness, college affordability, and more, according to a new release from NBC News about the event.

The media company also reports that "the assembled governors will also field education questions from their own constituents, including: teachers, principals, parents and students."
